EnglishA baitcast fishing reel, also known as a low profile reel, is a type of fishing reel that is typically mounted on the top of a fishing rod, and it is often used for casting larger and heavier baits or lures. The baitcast reel is designed to provide more control and precision when casting, and it is often used by experienced anglers.
The baitcast reel consists of a spool that holds the fishing line, a level wind that guides the line onto the spool as it is retrieved, and a braking system that controls the speed of the spool during casting. The spool is mounted on a rotating spindle, and the spindle is turned by a handle on the side of the reel.
The angler uses a thumb to apply pressure on the spool during the cast, this is known as thumbing the spool. This is a technique that helps to prevent the spool from spinning too fast and causing the line to overrun or birdnest.
One of the most important things to consider when using a baitcasting reel is the spool tension. This can be adjusted to match the weight of the lure and the angler's casting style, to help control the speed of the spool during casting.
The baitcasting reel is a more advanced type of reel and requires some practice to use effectively, it is typically used for freshwater fishing, particularly for bass, and for saltwater fishing for species such as redfish, striped bass, and tarpon.
Ultra-Stable Oscillation: CNC aluminum spool and interchangeable left and right handle provide a reliable reel for years of big game fishing. The 5.1:1 gear ratio is designed to fight monsters and give you the confidence to land your biggest saltwater fish there.
Wide Range of Drag Adjustment: Rugged oversized shaft, compact self-balancing system rotors provide rock-stable retrieval when landing large aircraft. The sturdy aluminum spool holds heavy monofilament or braided wire for long casting distances. Tuna, shark, yellowtail, sea bass, kingfish, mackerel, all the big fish are waiting to be challenged.
Durable: Provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion with bearings at both ends, the pinion is kept in precise alignment with the drive gear. This means the gears will stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. An added benefit is the elimination of friction between the spool shaft and gear. This will increase the casting performance of the reel with lighter lures and allow for longer casting times.
